Details
Each summer, the Laboratory offers undergraduate and graduate students the unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a leading-edge research environment. Program participants contribute to projects and gain experience that complements their courses of study. In recent summers, we've hired more than 200 students representing top universities.
Students have opportunities to
- Interface with national experts in numerous fields of research
- Work with state-of-the-art equipment on real-world technical applications
- Present the results of their research conclusions at the end of the summer
Projects may be available for students with backgrounds in electrical engineering, computer science, physics, mathematics, mechanical engineering, aeronautics/astronautics, materials science, molecular biology, biochemistry, and related fields.
Lincoln Laboratory is located in historic Lexington, Massachusetts, and is only 14 miles northwest of Boston. As part of the MIT community, program participants have enjoyed sports events, trips to the island off Cape Cod, sailing, and hiking. In addition, MIT and Lincoln Laboratory are close to most major routes to New England's shores and mountains.
Students will have opportunities to:
- Attend technical briefings;
- Interface with national experts in numerous fields of research;
